Lead single from the 2011 Album "Wyvern & Worm"

Pastoral Fantastic - Single

Wood wives hide in the dark

Hide in the trees

Whisper your name

When you're low, behold

Wood wives older than stone

Open your soul

Bathe in your eyes and you come alive

Wood wives bloom in the Spring

Supernaturally thin

She hungers for you more than anything

Wood wives drawing you down

Coiling around

Lids heavy under the ground

Oh baby

Can anyone tell me where all the wood wives have gone?

In the King's arms on a Saturday night

Wood wives fade like a song

Learn her lines and she's gone

Just a trace of her taste on your face

And all the wood wives return to the shade

Their magic unmade

And you're back to your workaday trade

Can anyone tell me where all the wood wives have gone?

In the King's arms on a Saturday night

Won't someone tell me where all the wood wives went?

In the flash of a smile

In the bat of a lash

Come take a walk with me again

You'll see them all down Saffron Lane

All singing, all dancing Summer parade

Out of this world for a day

Out of this world for a day

Out of this world...

Wood Wives - Single

With these woven words

I am spent with the weaving of sentiment

Silence is golden

We wear it so well

These woven words

Are all that remain of our compliment

Fine words, these

Spun on the loom of our love

I'm quite aware of your feelings

They are the demons with which I am dealing

I'm reeling around in the dark

Arm in arm

With these iron words

Pulling at me like a memory

Heavy words these

Forged in the furnace of love unrequited

I'm quite aware of your feelings

They are the demons with which I am dealing

I'm reeling around in the dark

Arm in arm with you

I'm quite aware of your feelings, thank you

They are the demons with which I am dealing

I'm reeling around in the dark

Arm in arm in arm in arm in arm in arm in arm in arm...

With the wyvern and worm
